一家叫“时的科技”的上海公司正在努力制造“空中出租车”，这家公司目前也在中东地区发展他们的业务，公司计划在2027年左右把”空中出租车”卖到更多的国家。2023年，这家公司已经发布了第一架电动飞机，这架飞机的名字叫E20 eVTOL，它有5个座位，售价在700到800万元之间。
时的科技的创始人叫黄雍威，他出生在马来西亚，但是他的祖先来自中国福建厦门。他在航空行业已经工作超过20年了，他曾经在空客公司担任过工程师。他从小就是一名航空爱好者，16岁的时候他就决定以后要做和航空有关的工作。因为马来西亚没有航空专业的大学，所以他就去了澳大利亚上大学，学习了航空航天专业，毕业后他去了新加坡工作了一年，积累了一些工作经验。
后来黄雍威来到中国工作，随着对行业的了解越来越多，他决定创业。但是刚开始创业的时候，很多投资人都没听过eVTOL这个词，他们觉得黄雍威和他的团队是骗子。现在随着低空经济受到越来越多的关注，eVTOL也慢慢被人们熟悉起来。黄雍威对eVTOL实现商业化充满期待，他和团队的目标是2026年实现E20 eVTOL大规模生产和交付。
E20 eVTOL的主要应用场景包括景区空中游览、城际和城市空中出行。目前在有名的5000多个中国景区中，有直升机或者小型飞机的景区不超过100个，这对eVTOL来说是一个很大的市场，未来坐上eVTOL游览景区，只需要花费200-300元，随着空中游览的价格降低，很多人应该会尝试一下。eVTOL也会让城际出行变得更加方便，比如从上海到南通，开车需要差不多3个小时，但是坐eVTOL只需要20分钟就到了，再也不用担心堵车了。
今年3月份，时的科技获得了投资机构2000万美元的投资，为公司发展提供了资金支持。时的科技计划在中国市场快速发展起来，同时，公司也很关注一带一路上的国家，他们希望把产品卖到全世界。

A Shanghai-based company called “Tcab Tech” is working hard to manufacture aerial taxis. The company is also expanding its business in the Middle East and plans to sell “aerial taxis” to more countries around 2027. In 2023, the company released its first electric aircraft, named E20 eVTOL, which has 5 seats and is priced between 7 to 8 million RMB.
The founder of Tcab Tech, Huang Yongwei, was born in Malaysia, but his ancestors are from Xiamen, Fujian, China. He has been working in the aviation industry for over 20 years and has previously served as an engineer at Airbus. He has been an aviation enthusiast since childhood, deciding at the age of 16 that he wanted to work in aviation. Since there were no universities in Malaysia offering aviation programs, he went to Australia for university, studying aerospace. After graduation, he worked in Singapore for a year, gaining some work experience.
Later, Huang Yongwei came to work in China. As he gained more knowledge about the industry, he decided to start his own business. However, when he first started, many investors had never heard of the term eVTOL and thought Huang Yongwei and his team were frauds. Now, as the low-altitude economy receives more attention, eVTOLs are becoming more familiar to people. Huang Yongwei is full of expectations for the commercialization of eVTOLs, and his team’s goal is to achieve mass production and delivery of the E20 eVTOL by 2026.
The main application scenarios for the E20 eVTOL include aerial sightseeing in scenic spots, intercity, and urban air travel. Currently, out of the more than 5,000 well-known scenic spots in China, fewer than 100 have helicopters or small aircraft, which presents a large market for eVTOLs. In the future, taking an eVTOL to tour scenic spots will only cost 200-300 RMB, and as the price of aerial tours decreases, many people are likely to try it. eVTOLs will also make intercity travel more convenient. For example, traveling from Shanghai to Nantong by car takes about 3 hours, but with an eVTOL, it will only take 20 minutes, eliminating the worry of traffic jams.
In March of this year, Tcab Tech received a $20 million investment from an investment institution, providing financial support for the company’s development. Tcab Tech plans to rapidly expand in the Chinese market and is also paying close attention to countries along the Belt and Road. They hope to sell their products worldwide.
